The interdisciplinary advantage

Select from the five following categories to build your own program:
- English (ENG)
- Interdisciplinary Studies in Arts, Humanities and Languages (AHL) (Only AHL 1100 and AHL 1900 qualify as basic skills courses)
- Philosophy (PHI)
What are AHL courses? A course that allows you to expand your horizons, to confront views from different fields, and to engage in the urgent debates of today and tomorrow. Each year our professors offer courses under the interdisciplinary course code AHL, which you can choose as electives in your program.
